This is my rescue orphan. Pretty much all custom, mostly by me. 30-06 03A3 modified action Timney 2 lb trigger. Custom Fajen stock. Vortex 6-20x44 in a S&G mount.
Total cost on this rifle is about $600. Last outing I had it shooting a 100 yd group that looked like the one above. I was shooting 55 Gr 4350 &168 VLD. Scope mount worked loose while shooting, had to make a repair and I haven't had it out to shoot again since.

I would really love to update this thread with my first "custom rifle". It is taking a little longer than I was anticipating. I'll post it up when it's complete.

I always enjoy these threads. Hopefully here in a couple weeks I'll get to post a new rifle. Nothing fancy or cool like pretty much all here - just a pretty typical AR-15.
